This repeated line of questioning, especially when it ignores what’s already been addressed is becoming tiresome and to be honest, quite unengaging. Stay in the vacuum if you choose, but when you're ready to step out, I’ll be here, ready to show you what can be known.
I see that you have dodged both @David Lamb and mine questions. You have no answer, rather, more Obfuscation and pseudo rationalism. Me wonders, where do you attend church?

I await your answer.

That pesky vacuum still sucks.

"Christianity has the dubious distinction of being the only religion that begins by dismissing the creed of its founder."

That's because so many quit listening to God said in His Word and listen to the devil instead.

Just like how Adam and Eve forsook the Lord and started following the devil.

I have my doubts that Christianity is Christian.

I can't recall who said this, but its a worthy quote.

There is no Amen to that list of doctrines! Get back to the original!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 1 Pe 1:3.

If your Jesus doesn't have a God, you have the wrong Jesus!

What other "work" do you believe is necessary?

John 6:28-29
28Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

What creed of God does Christianity reject?

I'm starting my own church. It has two main tenets for salvation.

1. You must belong to my church.
2. You must believe in Jesus.

Without both, one cannot be saved.

Is my church a Christian denomination?

Nothing in there about praying to Mary, Paul, Peter, etc.
They are dead and buried so how can they hear?

Acts 2:29 (ESV) "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day."

Sorry you won't reach David either.

I gave you a window of opportunity to take you seriously but clearly you are riddled with canker!

The Catholic Church shares this doctrine. Are they Christian? It probably depends on who you ask but, in my OPINION, a belief system that necessitates that faith and trust in Jesus alone is insufficient for salvation is NOT a "Christian" theology.

You're filled with pride and are here to win arguments rather than to share and learn with your brothers and sisters. You need to check your ego.
